精美英文欣赏:心静如水The Practice of Peace

?: https://www.360docs.net/doc/cf3836708.html,/Article/201011/119428.shtml There are many areas in which peace needs to be accomplished - within ourselves, between ourselves and others, and between ourselves and the divine. When any part is out of balance, a lasting peace cannot be maintained.

Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.

A state of peace does not grow out of a false sense of safety, but out of understanding how to interact with the forces we are subjected to. Rather than reacting automatically, we must learn how to best respond.

Automatic, habitual reactions lead us and others into blind alleys. Responding, on the other hand, includes response-ability, the power to see things as they are, stay balanced and make an appropriate response. This is the action of seeking peace.

Many may not be aware of the enormous power their choices

and actions have upon their lives and the lives of others. It has been said that even a small amount of real love has the power to dissolve mountains of hate. The wonder is why we are so stingy with our good will, why we hold onto thoughts of hatred and revenge.

Seeing this is the first step. Letting go comes next.

This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Rather than pretending to be loving and peaceful, we must learn how to actively work with all that opposes peace. We must learn how to work with our fear and anger when it arises. Even in the midst of anger we can be peaceful, if we learn how to handle it properly. In this way we pursue and practice peace.

To Fanny Keats, 2nd July, 1818. Dumfries

My dear Fanny;

I intended to have written to you from Kirkudbright the town I shall be in tomorrow—but I will write now because my

knapsack has worn my coat in the Seams, my coat has gone to the Taylors and I have but one coat to my back in these parts.

We are employed in going up mountains, looking at Strange towns prying into old ruins and eating very hearty breakfasts. Here we are full in the full Midst of broad Scotch ‘How is it a’wi yoursel’—the girls are walking about bare footed and in the worst cottages the smoke finds its way out of the door—I shall come home full of news for you and for fear I should choke you by too great a dose at once I must make you used to it by a letter or two.

We are in the midst of Meg Merrilies’ country of whom I suppose—you have heard!

Take me to a dream

That I never dreamed of.

To a place so beautiful

That we can stay for eternity.

A dream that seems to be

More real than real life,

A dream of no problems or worries.

Take me to a dream,

A place for just the two of us,

Where we can express our inner

most thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

To a beautiful land where nobody is there but just the two of us.

Take me to a dream,

A dream where I can have fun,

Where I am not being abused at,

Controlled or being yelled at.

To a beautiful place that I can lay at

In peace where I can think at.

Where I will have no worries,

and do nothing but dream.

Take me to a dream.....

To Tom Keats, 29th June, 1818. Keswick

My dear Tom;

I cannot make my Journal as distinct and actual as I could wish, from having been engaged in writing to Geroge and therefore I must tell you without circumstances that we proceeded from Ambleside to Rydal, saw the Waterfalls there, and called on Wordsworth, who was not at home, nor was any one of his family. I wrote a not and left in on the Mantlepiece.

You Are My Seasons

You were my sunshine in the summer,

And my flowers in the Spring,

The one to fill my heart with love,

When no one else could do a thing.

Now the sun's behind the clouds,

And the flowers have gone with a sigh,

You're like the leaves of fall,

That just flutter right on by.

You're like snow in the winter,

Which brightens me up while you're here.

Then you are gone,

And I wish you were back to take away these tears.

But as I said in it all,

There are things worth waiting for.

And you are the most important one,

So please come back, once more.

And, please, instead of being snow that melts,

Or flowers which will die.

Please be the pictures of these things,

So I can hold on to you, during all this time.

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art---

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors---

No---yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,

Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever---or else swoon to death

I have feelings of love for the guy I see.

Does he love me too, what does he think of me?

I wish I could tell him he makes me whole,

but I'm afraid to say what's deep in my soul.

I don't want to lose him, for I would be alone,

and some days I just can't wait to hear his voice on the phone.

He does certain things to make me feel loved,

some days he wants to be alone and my heart is shoved.

I want to feel as though I am his safeguard,

the one he can come to when things get hard.

I will always be there to help him along,

and before we met I wasn't as strong.

I wish I could tell him what I feel inside,

but I'm afraid of what he'll say, how he'll act on the

outside.

To Tom Keats, 25th June, 1818.

Endmoor, Cumbria

Here beginneth my journal, this Thursday, the 25th day of June, Anno Domini1818. This morning we arose at 4, and set off in a Scotch mist; put up once under a tree, and in fine, have walked wet and dry to this place, called in the vulgar tongue Endmoor, 17 miles; we have not been incommoded by our knapsacks; they serve capitally, and we shall go on very well.

June 26—I merely put pro forma, for there is no such thing as time and space, which by the way came forcibly upon me on seeing for the first hour the Lake and Mountains of Winander —I cannot describe them—they surpass my expectation—beautiful water—shores and islands green to the marge—mountains all round up to the clouds. We set out from Endmoor

this morning, breakfasted at Kendal with a solider who had been in all the wars for the last seventeen years—then we have walked to Bowne’s to dinner—said Bowne’s situated on the Lake where we have just dined, and I am writing at this present.

I enquired of the waiter for Wordsworth—he said he knew him, and that he had been here a few days ago, canvassing for the Lowthers. What think you of that—Wordsworth versus Brougham!! Sad—sad—sad—and yet the family has been his friend always. When can we say? We are now about seven miles from Rydale, and expect to see him tomorrow. You shall hear all about our visit.

The two views we have had of it are of the most noble tenderness—they can never fade away—they make one forget the divisions of life; age, youth, poverty and riches; and refine one’s sensual vision into a sort of north star which can never cease to be open lidded and stedfast over the wonders of the great power of the nature.

?空间上的距离并不能真正将你与你的朋友分开，如果你想和你所爱的人在一起，其实你已经在那里了。?

Miles cannot separate me from the man I love. Although face-to-face communication is few and far between, his heart still finds ways to speak to me.

相隔万里并不能把我爱的人与我分开。尽管我们之间面对面交流的机会很少，但他的心总会找到方向与我对话。

To Benjamin Bailey, 10th June 1818

My dear Bailey;

I was in hopes some little time back to be able to relieve your dullness by my spirits—to point out things in the world worth your enjoyment—and now I am never alone without rejoicing that there is such a thing as death –without placing my ultimate in the glory of dying for a great human purpose Perhaps if my affairs were in a different state I should not have not written the above—you shall judge—I have tow brothers one is driven by the ‘burden of Society’ to America, the other, with an exquisite love of Life, is in a lingering state—My love for my brothers from the early loss of our parents and even for earlier Misfortunes has grown into a affection ‘passing the Love of Women’—I have been ill-tempered with them. I have vexed them –but the thought of them has always stifled the impression that any woman might otherwise have made upon me—I have a sister too and may not follow them, either to America or to the Grave—Life must be undergone, and I certainly derive a consolation from the thought of writing one or two more Poems before it cesease.

Your affectionate friend

John Keats

And when I'm down, how you gently wipe the tears from my

face.

The way you kiss, how your lips softly and sweetly meet mine.

The way you innocently look into my eyes, with love and passion，and never cold like ice.

So, you're asking, "How much do I mean to you?"

Words can't explain how I feel, but honey, I love you!

英语沙龙:济慈书信To J. H. Reynolds Teignmouth

约翰·济慈（JohnKeats，1795年—1821年），出生于18世纪末年的伦敦，他是杰出的英诗作家之一，也是浪漫派的主要成员。

To J. H. Reynolds Teignmouth, May 3rd 1818

My dear Reynolds;

What I complain of is that I have been in so an uneasy a state of mind as not to be fit to write to an invalid. I cannot write to any length under a disguised feeling. I should have loaded you with an addition of gloom, which I am sure you do not want. I am now thank God in a humour to give you a good groats worth—for Tom, after a Night without a wink of sleep, and overburdened with fever, has got up after a refreshing day sleep, and is better than he has been for a long time; and you I trust have been again round the Common without any effect but refreshment.

An extensive knowledge is needful to thinking people—it takes away the heat and fever; and helps, by widening speculation, to ease the Burden of the Mystery; a thing I begin to understand a little, and which weighed upon you in the most gloomy and true sentence in your letter. The difference of high sensations with and without knowledge appears to me this—in the latter case we are falling continually ten thousand fathoms deep and being blown up again without wings and with all the horror of a bare shouldered creature—in the former case, our shoulders are fledge, and we go thro’ the same air and space without fear.

It is impossible to know how far knowledge will console us for the death of a friend and the ill ‘that flesh is heir to.

I compare human life to a large Mansion of many apartments, two of which I can only describe, the doors of the rest being as yet shut upon me—The first we step into we call the infant or thoughtless Chamber, in which we remain as long as we do not think—We remain there a long while, and notwithstanding the doors of the second Chamber remain wide open, showing a bright appearance, we care not to hasten to it; but are at length imperceptibly impelled by the awakening of the thinking principle—within us—we no sooner get into the second Chamber, which I shall call the Chamber of Maiden-Thought, than we become intoxicated with the light and the atmosphere, we see nothing but pleasant wonders, and think of delaying there for ever in delight: However among the effects this breathing is father of is that tremendous one of sharpening one’s vision into the heart and nature of Man—of convincing ones nerves that the World is full and misery and heartbreak, pain, sickness and oppression—whereby This Chamber of Maiden

thought becomes gradually darkened and at the same time on all sides of it many doors are set upon—but all dark—all leading to dark passages—We see not the balance of good and evil. We are in a mist—We are now in that state—We feel ‘the burden of the Mystery,’ To this point was Wordsworth come, as far as I can conceive when he wrote ‘Tintern Abbey’ and it seems to me that his Genius is explorative of those dark Passages. Now if we live, and go on thinking, we too shall explore them.

Your affectionate friend

John Keats

It was so sweet.

It felt like it was

Just you and me.

Everyone went away.

Nothing really mattered.

You held me so close.

It was "Always and Forever".
